Exodus 28:22-29

22“You are to make for the breastpiece braided chains like cords of pure gold,

23and you are to make for the breastpiece two gold rings and attach the two rings to the upper two ends of the breastpiece.

24You are to attach the two gold chains to the two rings at the ends of the breastpiece;

25the other two ends of the two chains you will attach to the two settings and then attach them to the shoulder pieces of the ephod at the front of it.

26You are to make two rings of gold and put them on the other two ends of the breastpiece, on its edge that is on the inner side of the ephod.

27You are to make two more gold rings and attach them to the bottom of the two shoulder pieces on the front of the ephod, close to the juncture above the waistband of the ephod.

28They are to tie the breastpiece by its rings to the rings of the ephod by blue cord, so that it may be above the waistband of the ephod, and so that the breastpiece will not be loose from the ephod.

29Aaron will bear the names of the sons of Israel in the breastpiece of decision over his heart when he goes into the holy place, for a memorial before the Lord continually.
